I have Jailbroken, oh hella, at least 75/100 iPhones and iPods over the years.
Today, for some reason I had the hardest time ever.
Should have been easy as pie, but.......................3 freaking hours of restoring, trying to jailbreak, blah blah blah.
The dam thing was a brand *** new iPhone 3G on 3.0 firmware that had been jailbroken with redsn0w by the original owner, but never ever used it or put it in a case. Guy said he bought a long time ago to jailbreak and then sell. Well he moved and forgot all about it.
My friend bought it on eBay for $175.00, good deal I guess if you want an 2 year old style.
I need a drink and a big ole' fat spliff, lolz

You paid $175 for an iPhone 3G? Can't be the 8GB cause I've been trying to sell my 8GB 3G that's jailbroken/unlocked on 3.1.2 for $100/125 since I got my iPhone 4 on launch day.... And yes, I've had issues sporadically when restoring/updating and then re-jailbreaking before when all the other attempts went flawlessly... I'd pass the bowl (no spliffs here, unless it's full of the GOOD) but Apple hasn't released Molecular Transfers via the Internet yet. But it should be released soon.

I just gave my 16GB 3G to a friend. My only requirement was, he join MMi & learn from our community. I also told him he could only ask for help in our public forum.
Thanks cadi, your post about your friends iPhone and the hours you spent on it fueled my decision.

Asking for help is different from being stupid. Fanboys can rot in @#$%!
